It's been 20 years since audiences were introduced to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte. These women represent four different archetypal personalities that people identify with to this day — it's not uncommon to hear someone say "I'm such a Samantha."

Sarah Jessica Parker recently returned to the HBO family with her new show "Divorce."

After leaving Carrie Bradshaw behind, Parker focused on her movie career, starring in films such as "The Family Stone" and "Failure to Launch." She also returned to the stage (where she got her start), starring in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" alongside her future husband Matthew Broderick.

Parker, 52, also capitalized on her status as a fashion icon by creating a clothing line named BITTEN for Steve & Barry's, and a shoe collection for Nordstrom's called the SJP Collection.

Kim Cattrall was poised to be the breakout star of "Sex and the City," but hasn't been able to replicate that level of success with recent projects.

Cattrall's sexually confident Samantha Jones was the show's breakout character — the role won her a Golden Globe and five Emmy nominations. But since the show ended, Cattrall, 61, has distanced herself from the spotlight.

While "Sex and the City" was airing, Davis appeared on two other extremely popular TV shows at the time, " Friends," and "Will and Grace." But after that, she didn't appear on another show until 2014's "Bad Teacher." She did, however, appear in a few feature films including "Deck the Halls" alongside co-star Parker's husband Matthew Broderick.

Besides her political life, Nixon has starred in Broadway shows, indie films, and long-running classic shows like "Law and Order." She won an Emmy for her guest-starring role in a 2008 episode of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" in which she played a woman pretending to have dissociative identity disorder.

Nixon shares two children, Charles and Samantha, with her ex-husband Danny Mozes. She and Mariononi welcomed son Max in 2011.

Chris Noth reprised his role on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" after his time as Mr. Big. He also had another mega-hit with TV series "The Good Wife."

Noth, 63, has a penchant for playing polarizing characters. Besides Mr. Big, who swung between being Carrie's perfect partner and being terrified of commitment, he also played Peter Florrick on "The Good Wife," a disgraced former state attorney. He also played a cop on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" from 1990 to 1995, and reprised his role from 2005 to 2008.

Noth has one son with wife Tara Lynn Wilson. Their son was born in 2008, and the couple got married in 2012 after eight years of dating.

David Eigenberg joined "Chicago Fire" in 2012.

Since his time as Steve, Miranda's main love interest, ended, Eigenberg, 53, has been working steadily in the world of TV. He had appeared in multiple one-off episodes of popular shows such as "Without a Trace," "Everwood," "NCIS," and "Castle," among others.

Evan Handler is as well known for his time on "Sex and the City" as he is for his role on "Californication."

Harry and Charlotte's relationship was probably the most heartwarming one on the entire show. It taught Charlotte to look past appearances, and even led to her conversion to Judaism. The two also dealt with realistic fertility issues, a departure from the show's generally more comedic tone.

After "Sex and the City" ended, Handler, 57, joined the cast of "Californication," playing the main character's best friend, Charlie. After "Californication" ended, Handler stayed on TV, most recently appearing in "The Astronaut Wives Club," "American Crime Story," and "The Breaks."

Jason Lewis has already had one film released this year, with three more on the way.

Though Smith was young, he was perfect for Samantha, and eventually became the most important relationship that she had in the show (and subsequent movies). He stood by her through her commitment issues, infidelity, and breast cancer.

On the show, Smith was a model-turned-actor: in real life, Lewis, 46, followed the same trajectory. Before his time on "Sex and the City," he was a successful model for brands like Guess and Hugo Boss, among others.

After the show ended, Lewis appeared on "Charmed" as the short-lived husband of Phoebe, an episode of "How I Met Your Mother," and is currently starring on "Midnight, Texas" as a fallen angel named Joe Strong.

According to IMDB, his film "Half Magic" was released in February, and he has three more films set up for release this year.

John Corbett's role in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and its sequel made him a box office success.

Aidan was the only man that came close to actually being a lifelong partner for Carrie, besides Big. The debate still rages on as to which one was the best for her.

During the show, Corbett, 56, established himself as a box office draw by starring in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in 2002. He also starred in heartwarming movies such as "Raising Helen" and "Raise Your Voice," and had recurring TV roles on "United States of Tara" and "Parenthood." He will also be appearing in the upcoming final season of "Portlandia."

Willie Garson moved from a small recurring role on "Sex and the City" to a starring one on "White Collar."

Stanford was the perennially single ride-or-die friend of Carrie's, supporting her through numerous relationships and other misadventures, until he finally found his own boyfriend, Marcus (who mysteriously disappeared in the movies).

Garson, 54, followed "Sex and the City" with a starring role in "White Collar," and guest spots on "Girl Meets World" and "Wizards of Waverly Place." Most recently, he had a recurring role on "Hawaii Five-O."

Kyle MacLachlan was already famous for his role as Agent Dale Cooper in "Twin Peaks" by the time he appeared on "Sex and the City," and continues to play iconic TV characters to this day.

Trey and Charlotte had a whirlwind romance, engagement, and wedding — which led Charlotte to overlook some red flags, like his vaguely unhealthy relationship with his mother. The two eventually got divorced, leading Charlotte to her next husband, Harry.

MacLachlan, 59, is particularly adept at playing sinister characters, like the obsessive Orson Hodge in "Desperate Housewives," and the mysterious Captain in "How I Met Your Mother." He even dabbled in the Marvel Universe by playing Calvin Zabo, aka The Doctor, in "Agents of S.H.I.E.LD."

James Remar has grown into an accomplished voice actor in the years since the show ended.

Richard was one of the few relationships in Samantha's arc on the show that had a lasting impact. She was devastated when she caught him cheating on her, and he re-appeared later on in the show just to prove that Samantha was actually really into Smith.

However, he's found the most success doing voiceover work. Remar has lent his voice to "Justice League Unlimited," "The Batman," "The Spectacular Spider-Man," "Ben 10: Alien Force," and "Young Justice," to name a few.

Ron Livingston has continued to work in the TV world and is currently starring in two shows: "Search Party" and "Loudermilk."

"I'm sorry. I can't. Don't hate me."

Those seven words led Jack Berger to go down in history as the guy who used a Post-It note to break up with Carrie. He also delivered the line that might be the most lasting contribution to pop culture in all six seasons of "Sex and the City:" "He's just not that into you."

After writing the Post-it and disappearing into the night, Livingston, 50, has had continued success in Hollywood. He's appeared in huge movies such as "The Conjuring" and "The Time Traveler's Wife," as well as critically-acclaimed indie comedy "Drinking Buddies." However, he has mostly stuck to TV, with roles on "Boardwalk Empire," "Search Party," and "Loudermilk."

Livingston married his co-star Rosemarie DeWitt in 2009, and the couple adopted two daughters, Gracie and Esperanza.

Lynn Cohen didn't begin acting until the '90s (she was in her 50s), and is now most famous for her role as Mags in "The Hunger Games" franchise.

Some of the funniest moments of the show were the result of housekeeper Magda butting heads with Miranda about sexuality, motherhood, and working women — like the time Magda bought Miranda a rolling pin, implying that a woman should stay home and bake, rather than pursue a career.

Frances Sternhagen has appeared in many popular TV shows and theater roles.

Bunny MacDougal was the passive-aggressive, overly involved mother of Charlotte's first husband Trey. Her eerily close relationship with Trey played a part in the demise of his marriage to Charlotte. Sternhagen was nominated for an Emmy for her performance.

After her time on "Sex and the City" ended, Sternhagen, 88, appeared in three plays, "Steel Magnolias," "Seascape," and "The Madrid." She also had a recurring role on TNT's "The Closer," and guest-starred in an episode of "Parenthood."
